Behind the freezer! That's genius. I must look there...

That happens to me a lot with fishing gear. Sometimes I clear out an area and I find a specialty rod that I have no memory of buying.
I have no problem imagining the same thing happens with guns if it wasn't for the license requirements preventing me from buying a few extra "just in case I ever need it", and forcing me to keep track of what I have for the 5 year renewals. 8-)

Then it makes no difference if he had fifty guns hidden in the house or none, does it?

If they got him then at least the wife/kids can shoot the fuckers instead of getting raped and murdered.

Dog wasn't part of the equation and while a warning system (maybe) that would be it depending on size and training of course...If they bark at any passing vehicle or human or animal then you just put it aside when he starts barking before you get clubbed.
There is a certain type of mentality that thinks if you make certain inanimate objects illegal their criminal misuse will disappear!

Sportsman's Guide has been offering assorted clock & picture frame gun stashes. (including a monster 4x 8"x10" frame which will hide a full length AR...) If I weren't certain that my housemates would point them out to every visitor, I'd be putting them to use already.

I have a couple of Glocks, a Sig, a Colt, a Smith and Wesson, a Benelli for my hidey guns.

My house-guest while looking for the wine opener just found the XD 9mm I keep in the kitchen...

He's cool though.

Boy, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall with a good view of his face at THAT moment. :lol:

When my niece and nephew come over to visit, my brother has to give us ample warning so we can go around and collect all the guns within arms reach (including the one inside the chair armrest).
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
